Schumacher switches schools, sports

Andrew Schumacher, The Register-Guard prep male athlete of the year in 2007 when he graduated from Churchill, has transferred to Oregon where he hopes to play baseball.

Schumacher was the Midwestern League most valuable player as a senior and signed to play quarterback at Eastern Washington. He spent last season with the Eagles but transferred after coach Paul Wulff left for Washington State.

Schumacher transferred to Oregon in the spring and said he has been in contact with baseball coaches about walking on to the program when it reinstates the sport next season.
